Tan Shu nodded.

"Don't worry, Dad. We all know the seriousness of the matter. Besides, Sheng'er has always been loyal to us. Even if we can't help her, we will never harm her."

Lu Zhenghe coughed a few times

"That's good...that's good..."

After Jiang Sheng returned home from the prison, he also started to think about it secretly.

Judging from recent events, her third uncle really has the ability to predict things.

He said that the Lu family might be exiled, so there was a high possibility that this would happen.

Dongchen habitually exiled royal relatives or officials to the north of the Ling Mountains, while those exiled to the south of the Ling Mountains were mostly civilians.

In this case, the Lu family should have been exiled to Lingbei.

It seems that I can start preparing now.

"Yingqiu, Yingyue, have you ever been to the Lingbei area?"

Yingqiu replied

"I have been there."

"What's the situation in Lingbei? Is it really a bitter and cold place as people say?"

Yingqiu shook her head

“Actually, it’s not accurate to say that. Although the area north of the Ling Mountains is a bit colder and some places are not as prosperous as the capital, it still has everything you need.

The people there are more simple, and although the crops don’t harvest twice a year like in the Jiangnan area, the taste is much better than in Jiangnan and other places.”

Yingyue replied

"Also, I heard Yingqiu say that the kangs in Lingbei are really nice. They can stay indoors in the winter while the snow is white outside. The scenery is so beautiful just thinking about it."

Yingqiu said again

"However, I mostly went to places like county towns and cities. If it were ordinary people, they might indeed be more miserable."

Jiang Sheng thought that the place of exile was probably worse than that of ordinary people, so he should prepare for the worst.

Then she ordered

"We will start shopping tomorrow. According to what Third Uncle said, the Lu family may be spared the death penalty, but they will be punished alive. Exile to Lingbei may be the final result."

Nanzhu whispered

"Miss, it's already autumn, and the capital is already a little chilly. It must be even colder in Lingbei. We need to make some more clothes."

Jiang Sheng nodded

"Clothes must be made, and the fabric doesn't need to look good, as long as it's comfortable and warm."

Yingyue quietly reminded

"Miss, if there are too many things, it might be inconvenient to travel."

If they were really exiled, they would have to travel a limited number of miles each day. They would definitely be slow with so many bags, which would probably delay the progress.

Jiang Sheng looked at them and answered after thinking for a moment.

"I have my own way of dealing with this, don't worry."

The few of them stopped asking questions. Nanzhu took out a pen and paper and said softly:

"Let's write down everything we want to buy first, so we don't forget it later."

Several people sat at the table, writing down whatever they thought of, and soon they had written several pages.

After the order was decided, several people divided the work and cooperated with each other. Some were responsible for buying rice, flour and oil, while others were responsible for buying seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

In the next few days, they were all busy with purchasing.

Until this day, Yuzhu came back from outside in a hurry.

"Miss, the Second Master and the Second Young Master have been escorted back to the city."

Jiang Sheng stood up suddenly

"Already in town?"

Yuzhu panted and nodded

"We have already...already...entered the city..."

At this time, Nanzhu also came in from outside.

"Miss, Yingqiu has already gone to see it, you should stay at home and don't go out."

Jiang Sheng shook his head

"No, I have to go."

Now that all the family members are in prison, someone has to pick them up.

Nanzhu grabbed the man

"Miss, you'd better not go."

Jiang Sheng turned sideways and looked at Nanzhu

"Nanzhu... did something happen to you?"

Nanzhu was still young, and couldn't hide anything. When Jiang Sheng asked her about it, she burst into tears.

"Miss...Miss...Just listen to me for once. Don't go. Just stay here, okay?"

After hearing her words, Jiang Sheng seemed to have lost his mind and ran outside like a madman.

No matter what Nanzhu and the others did behind him, he never looked back.

When we reached the main street at the city gate, the people had already surrounded the street so tightly that no one could get through.

Jiang Sheng squeezed for a long time before finally getting in. As soon as she got in, a prison van happened to pass by her.

Sitting inside was Lu Wenchuan with gauze around his eyes.

There is also my second uncle Lu Ming, who has lost one leg.

Jiang Sheng covered his mouth, tears welling up in his eyes.

She suppressed the grief in her heart and wanted to go forward to see if she could talk to the two of them, but the things in the two prison vans behind her made her stunned for a moment.

In the two prisoner cars, there were two pieces of armor placed on cross poles, one of which Jiang Sheng was very familiar with.

That was what she put on him personally when Lu Wenzhou left home.

The armor was no longer as new as when he first put it on. Instead, it was badly damaged. Not only were there knife and arrow wounds everywhere, but there were even bloodstains on the front and back.

The new and the old are piled together, and its original color can no longer be seen.

Jiang Sheng stood there in a daze, watching the prison van go away. There was only one thought in Jiang Sheng's mind:

After suffering so many injuries, does his Azhou feel any pain?

Then everything went black and she passed out.

When she woke up, she was back in the house.

She stood up suddenly, and Nanzhu, who was sitting next to her and watching her, was also startled.

"Miss, are you awake?"

Jiang Sheng glanced at the sky outside

"What time is it?"

Nanzhu whispered back

"Miss, it's already twilight hour."

Jiang Sheng shouted outside

"Yingqiu... Yingqiu..."

Yingqiu pushed the door open and walked in

"Miss, I'm here."

Jiang Sheng seemed to have calmed down completely at this time. She said in a deep voice

"Yingqiu, go contact the Third Prince. I need to go to the prison again. Second Uncle and Wen Chuan are both injured. If they are tortured again, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand it."

Yingqiu replied and turned and left.

Nanzhu held her hand and said softly

"Miss, are you okay?"

Jiang Sheng lowered his head and said after a while

"Now there are only clothes but no body. It's hard to say whether Ah Zhou is okay or not. It's not the time to be sad yet. Everyone in the Lu family is still waiting for me."

Nanzhu hugged the person in his arms distressed

"Miss, we will stay with you and wait for the master to come back, okay?"

Although he didn't hear any crying, Nanzhu could clearly feel his shoulders were wet.

Her eyes also became sore.

Her young lady had lived through so many difficulties over the years, and finally met Mr. Lu. She thought she could finally live a peaceful life.

But now, she is separated from the young master forever. Why does the young lady always have to experience this kind of pain of separation?

The young lady believed that the young master was not dead, so she believed it too. For the young lady, it was better to have hope than no hope.
